I was excited to find a book on NetGalley that takes place in Ghana! I visited in 2008 and found the country unlike any place I'd ever been. This book was gripping and kept me wondering what would happen to this family. I felt for (almost!) all of the women in the story. I had a hard time reading about the abortions and all of the infidelity, but the story and cultural insights were fascinating.

Simply wow. Absolutely beautiful. Follows a Ghanian woman who struggles to navigate her own skewed view of love and trust in relationships after growing up surrounded by her father's constant infidelity. Reminded me of Yaa Gyasi's Homegoing, but more understated - left more unsaid than said, and the restraint was executed flawlessly. I can't wait to see what Brew-Hammond does next.
